  1. I own a texas chainsaw massacre with the instruction booklet working...
  2. we are watching.. i wish i didn't need to buy a new car.. all 5 of my intelliviison systems have issues and none work fully to play any games... of course they are on my fix list as I finally bought my esd table and set it up a couple weeks ago...
  3. i have 4 2609 units all with issues and 1 intellivision II with issues, so basically no working system right now.... I am going to try and repair them. i have my 2 2600's on the bench right now being fixed so once they are done in a few days i will start opening up the intellis.. i'm basically going over all my vintage gear again and so far most is working still since my move 2.5 years ago... now that i have a esd bench set up a few weeks ago, its back to enjoying this wonderful hobby.. which does unfort. include learning to repair them...
  4. Isn't the phrase a blind squirrel? Do pigs even like nuts?
  5. At first glance I thought these were just empty boxes to put our game systems in, since you know how much we all love boxes....
  6. WATA ready? Nothing we like deserves to be made WATA ready.... Ever so if you wata folks are lurking around trying to figure out how to make more money and drive out hobby out of the hands of the casual collectors give it up.. We don't want your rating systems and we don't want you! PERIOD go away WATA.. and anyone rsing these services should stop right now... unless your one of those money grubbing wata fans who buys and resells for 3 to 5 times what you paid for said item there is NO reason to wata your cartrides.. last i checked wata-ing is bad for electronics PERIOD! no more wata-ing the carts!!!
  7. I find the whole grading process unnecessary. I only started collecting vintage systems (and repairing them) for my own personal use and reliving nostalgia of acquiring stuff I had growing up. The prices are a bit disturbing as of late for all vintage products as I collect for Apple II, C64, Tandy, 2600 and intellivision and I suspect 'these grading systems are designed to drive prices even higher.
  8. This looks miles better than the new all women ghostbusters movie that dropped last year.. Holding out hope for the "new" movie...
  9. The site is down now, so that's good but I wish i got a look at it before it was shut down..
  10. I would be interested in these titles but missed out on the sale on friday. how do i keep missing these. Are there more copies coming down the pike? I will keep checking the site for any availability but it went damn fast!
  11. I used to have the colecovision atari 2600 adapter back in the day...
  12. Outstanding progress... And yes I love Ultima too.
  13. its a 3 bedroom house just for me, so that would be a resounding yes.. I have to set up my electronics bench again and then start unloading all my vintage out of the 70qt tupperware containers. I have 5 intellivisions some place in the house so just need to find them and break them out.. 24 CIB games most sealed plus 6 home brews. I guess that means only 101 CIB left to collect? Yea I am just getting started on this fun but expensive hobby of collecting.. Of course if intellvision was the only thing i was collecting things would be so much easier.
  14. I just bought a beautiful new house and moved in 4 days ago so I am a little short on money at the moment... Prior to that I was buying anything and everything i could get my hands on. Now i have to control the impulses at least until I can figure out how much spending money I still have left. AND, I still want a kloz, minehunter, and other homebrew games also.. This community should be named "The pathway to bankruptcy group"...
